It's a link to a place you can download a document called "Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per
celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros. Anno 1057." It's a free pdf ebook of magical and cabbalistic signs, sigils.
The link takes you to a site called Tempsend, which is a document sharing app kind of thing. I'm explaining all this because I know people are careful about strange links and downloads, so I wouldn't blame you if you were wary of it. But Tempsend looks legit (to me anyway) and I downloaded the document.
EDIT: You can see it online without downloading at the Welcome Library.
It's very interesting. Here is a selection of some of the illustrations:

There are some pages of handwritten text, in German. I haven't looked at those pages much yet but here is one:
Translation (by me):
There lies within humans very strong hidden powers, through which one can create incomprehensible effects. This science, however, does not exist in any books. (or maybe better, "cannot be found in any books.)
I don't know anything else about the book. Just one of those strange interesting things that pops up now and then as more and more rare books and things become available on the internet.
